I purchased the Renogy 400w RV kit.
The Adventurer controller says the panels are at 12.5v with a 5.8a charge into a 12.4v battery indication and it's absolutely pitch black out, obviously false. I have never ever seen any indication the unit thinks the batteries are actually fully charged, it will drop to 13.6 forever. There's more than enough sun in southern Arizona to charge.
Secondly I'm having to keep putting water in the batteries like it's overcharging. I think it burned up my 4 y/o old Trojans which I just replaced with new T105's.
I'm not too happy with this and a BT module that doesn't work, terrible quality control.
If this thing is defective I'm not going to waste my time warrantying it with Renogy. What's a good replacement PWM controller that actually works?
